Change your Google+ notification settings

Google+ notifications let you know about things like photos, messages, events, or other things that are shared with you or that might interest you. For example, you might be notified if someone +1’s your photo, comments after you on a post, or invites you to an event. You might also see notifications about product updates.

You can see your Google+ notifications using the notification icon in the mobile app or on the web, and you can also choose to receive these notifications via email, text message, and push notification.

Control which types of notifications you get

You can't turn all notifications off, but you can turn off email, SMS, and push notifications.

Tip: Use a computer
Some notifications, like those sent via email, can only be turned off using a computer.

Turn push notifications on or off for the iOS app by changing these settings.

Open the Google+ app.

Touch the menu icon and then the gear icon .

Select Notifications.

For each type of notification, turn the switch off or on.

Choose who can notify you by contacting you directly

For example, you might only want to receive notifications about posts shared with you from people who are in your circles.

Note: You may still see notifications from people outside this setting for posts that you are involved with. For example, you might be notified if someone outside this setting comments on something you post or if they comment after you on a post.
